Wags and Miles Unite at San Diego’s Most Heartwarming 5K

Shelter to Soldier is unleashing their Inaugural Salute to Paws 5K and Gratitude Festival for Dogs, where every step you take helps rescue shelter dogs and transform them into life-saving service animals for our post-9/11 veterans.

Lace up those running shoes (and grab those leashes) for an epic morning at NTC Park in Liberty Station. Early birds catch the zen with an all-levels yoga flow at 8 AM, followed by the main event at 9 AM.

Salute to Paws 5K registration opens at 7:30 AM with plenty of coffee-worthy motivation!

A Tail-Wagging Festival

After you cross that finish line, the real party begins! The Gratitude Festival for Dogs features live music that’ll have tails wagging, a beer and mimosa garden for the humans, and tons of pet-loving vendors showing off their coolest stuff.

Want to expand your fur family? Swing by “Rescue Row,” where Labs & More Rescue will be showing off their most adorable adoptables!

See you there!

Join the inaugural Salute to Paws 5K and Gratitude Festival for Dogs on Saturday, November 16, at NTC Park in Liberty Station (2455 Cushing Rd, San Diego).

Visit the website here to register. Every registration includes festival access.

Huge thanks to Petco Love, UNITE Doggy ‘Poo, Sycuan Casino Resort, and Tito’s Handmade Vodka for making tails wag and hearts happy.

See you there, San Diego!
